This is a good thread for me because folk music comprises 0.01% of what I listen to (the rest is pop). Thanks basket. Will definitely return to this thread to listen to all of those songs.

Surprise surprise guess where the first three bands that came to mind are from.

Asa Chang & Junray (Avant-garde percussive band)
http://u.pomf.is/oivvap.mp3

Syzygys (Microtonal enka duo)
http://u.pomf.is/qtulkm.mp3

Hoahio (Improvisational pop supergroup)
http://u.pomf.is/gunelu.mp3

Hope those count! Will return with more later but I don't want to flood this thread with Japanese music.
